Some days, we may wish for a sense of  “angels” watching over us…
Instead of simply “wishing,”
perhaps taking time to notice they might be all around…
sometimes appearing as “everyday” angels who are in our lives,
friends, family members, beloved pets….
people who pass by in a store, on the street….
offering us a smile, a helping hand, a kind gesture…
so many possible and potential “angels”

~

~

Or perhaps,
a deeper sense of “angels” watching over us…
offering reassurance, comfort, encouragement…
some days we need that…
well, many days we need that…
today, perhaps, being one…
a fortifying sense of
“angels watching over me….”

Shaina Noll,
( who also sings the lovely song “it’s a joy to get to know you” )
singing
“angels watching over me”
(singing starts at 30 seconds )

All night, all day,
angels watching over me, my lord…
all night, all day,
angels watching over me…

When I sleep and when I wake,
angels watching over me,
Every single breath I take,
angels watching over me

~

~

Again….
perhaps, broadening our sense of the word “angel”….
opening up to the awareness that we are all potential “angels” for each other,
offering and receiving hope, strength and encouragement

~

~

All night and all day,
may each of us have a comforting sense
of being nurtured, loved and watched over…
of being held gently and  tenderly in hearts,
a sense of…
“angels” watching over me

Nurturing Thursday is hosted by Becca Givens at “On Butterfly Wings and Buttercup Tea.” Please stop by Becca’s blog to enjoy her Nurturing Thursday posts and to link to the post of other Nurturing Thursday posters… our very own  nurturing, blogging “angels” offering reassurance, kindness and wisdom to all of us…. (I just viewed Becca’s post for today…encouraging each of us to recognize the “angels” in our lives… those  people who see our goodness and who encourage, nurture and appreciate…thank you, Becca.)

Added a few hours later, after a suggestion in the comments area, from Joss…thank you Joss!….to put the ideas onto windspinner panels… I use one larger image hanging from the center of a mobile, and 4 smaller images hanging from the sides…all printed on clear film and laminated…well, I have the images… changed to a background of sky…sky backgrounds seems so beauty-filled and so hope-filled to me… I’ll print and laminate them in a bit… and create an inspiring mobile…important reminders…soon to be hanging outside a window…
